A further object of this 'invention is the provision of 'a table ot this character which combines in a single structure by its peculiar combination and arrangement of leaves, an ideal piece of furniture for use in apartments or lats, and in which every part oi the table is utilized for a certain purpose.

Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on line 3*?. ot Fig. 2.

Fig. le is a cross section taken on line elf-4.- of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is an end view of the table showing one of the leaves extended and the two members of the top raised.

Fig'. 6 is a similar view showing the iron ing board in use and the rear leal extended.

Figs. 7 and 8 are detail views ot various parts.

Referringl to the drawings, the numeral 10 designates the legs which have attached thereto the long front and rear walls 1l and 12 and the end walls 12 and 13, a bottom 1t being suspended between the walls.

'lhe wall 13 is provided with the opening 16 tor the reception oi the drawer 17.

razor receptacles 23, and this closes the reservoir 24 countersunk within the top.

The hinged cover 25 cooperates with the ends 18 and 19 and forms a complete top for the major portion of the table, and also forms a cover for the respective receptacles 26 and 27 which constitute, as shown, a pan for mixing iour and a shallow receptacle 'for knives, forks, and the like, respectively.

rllhe auxiliary cover 29 is provided to fit over either one oi' the receptacles within the table and is readily slid from one to the other.

Hingedly connected to the Jfnward edge of the sections 18 and 19 of the table by means oi' the hinges 30 is a longitudinal strip 31 which carries upon the thereof the hinges 32, by means of which the board or leaf 33 is hingedly connected thereto to form an extension tor Vthe top et the table when the bracket 35 is' extended or when the same is 'folded upon the main top of the table to expose the ironing board' 3G for use. A bracket 85 is hingedly connected to the upper edge of the rear wall ot' the table and is adapted to swing in a horizontal plane and when positioned as shown in Fig. 5 this bracket is adapted to support the ironing board 36 and therefore the board or leaf B3.
